Abstract

See full text

A vehicle control apparatus having an engine and an electric motor includes a clutch, a first travel controller, a second travel controller, and a motor controller. The clutch is disposed in a power transmission path that couples the engine and driving wheels to each other. The first travel controller executes a motor travel in which the driving wheels are driven by the electric motor in a state where the clutch is disengaged to decouple the engine from the driving wheels, and the engine is stopped. The second travel controller executes a cranking travel in which the clutch is engaged while a fuel injection of the engine is stopped in a state in which the motor travel is executed, and the engine is rotated during traveling. The motor controller increases an output torque of the electric motor when a travel mode switches from the motor travel to the cranking travel.
